I wore this outfit on a warm Thanksgiving Day, ready to indulge in good food and company. Aside from feeling comfortable after eating multiple helpings of a delicous meal, I knew I wanted to look and feel like myself with a quick and easy outfit that wasn’t without intention. No brand has offered that feeling in terms of design and philosophy more than Elizabeth Suzann. These items, perfectly wrinkled and broken in, are what I reach for when I’m not feeling my best so that I can feel my best. They are elegant, timeless, versatile, and truly comfortable and comforting. I’m looking forward to my Clyde Pants arriving soon!

Outfit posts aren’t frequent here because stepping in front of the camera isn’t something I feel entirely comfortable doing (plus my husband takes my photos and we rarely both have time for it). But I’m making an effort to document everyday looks a little more. We’re still having a mix of warm and cold days so this denim-on-denim number is a nice option for a typical Fall that can’t seem to make up its mind. These are all old pieces I truly love and wear all the time (shopping new often just isn’t my life). I’m all about neutrals with a little bit of intrigue so the quilted jacket + pinstripe jeans + camel tee combination is just right.

I’m very drawn to this furniture series by Vancouver based design studio wolke, made up of Patrick Campbell and Madison Killough. The chair, bench, and low table are both art and object–with clean, minimal lines and light wood tones that move beyond the standard confines of form and function, offering versatility and adaptability. Stripped of the unnecessary, these pieces are left with thoughtful design that still maintains interest. Find more inspiration on their website and Instagram.

A Palette for Fall and Winter

Solange

 

I’ve been inspired to go a bit outside my norm with these luxurious hues–emerald, bordeaux, and stone to transition to those crisp, cozy days we’re finally having, and there’s even have a little holiday vibe going on. I’m in love.

Good Enough

Recently my husband’s grandmother and aunt were in town and we gave them a tour of the house. It’s a joy and privilege to open our home and share it with others, especially all the quirky things that make it ours and tell who we are. I’m so, so glad they were finally able to visit. But it’s not uncommon for me to panic when expecting guests, so prior to their arrival we could be found cleaning and organizing furiously. I worry everyone will know I didn’t clean my baseboards perfectly or dust every book, or that the unfinished renovations will be a glaring eyesore. Not just that, I worry it matters if people do notice, and judgment will follow. Whenever I give voice to my insecurities about the state of the house, David repeats the kind reminder, “It just looks like people live here.” And he’s right–it’s a flowing, evolving space, responding to different moments and circumstances. This is a place for living, and all the evidence of our sweet, simple life together–dog hair, dirt from the backyard, unwashed dishes, worn furniture, an unmade bed, shoes thrown on the floor after a long day, laundry air drying in the dining room, book piles everywhere–belongs here. A while back we unofficially took on the family motto “good enough is good enough.” It’s a little funny, but also true. It really is good enough.

During the visit I noticed how much has changed in the short 9 months we’ve lived here, and how much change is still to come. In a couple weeks our new contractor will be starting the finishing work on our bathroom and kitchen. I’m looking forward to the final reveal, but these are a few scenes as it stands now. I spend a lot of my day-to-day time here, and I’m beginning to grasp more of that ease I felt in the apartment we lived in for years and years. I’m grateful for the comfort and familiarity.
